Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide systems and methods for detecting and providing warnings of potential data loss on termination of a client application of a cloud-based storage system. According to one embodiment, an attempt to log out or otherwise terminate the cloud services client application can be detected and local files at risk of losing data can be identified. A warning can then be presented to the user. For example, a warning can be presented on a display of the client device identifying local files at risk of data loss for various reasons such as those files that are still open by an application, files that are in the process of, but not yet finished, being synchronized, and files that cannot be synchronized. The user can then be given the option to continue or can cancel the termination and attempt to remedy the situation(s) creating the risk of data loss.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to synchronizing files between client devices utilizing different file systems with different filename restrictions. Generally speaking, a server of a cloud-based storage environment can, upon generation of a file or receiving a file from a first client device, detect any “illegal” characters therein, i.e., characters that are predefined by a file system of a second client device of the environment as being impermissible for use in a filename, and substitute a replacement character for those illegal characters. This replacement character can comprise a character that is permissible by the file system of both the first and second client devices, thereby allowing synchronization and access. Additionally, the server(s) can identify the original filename from the first client device and substitute the replacement characters back to the original filename when the file is being accessed by or synchronized with the first client device.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include systems and methods for implementing an Iconizer in a cloud-based platform such as cloud based platform (e.g., cloud-based collaboration platform or cloud-based platform providing collaborative and/or file sharing services). The iconizer can facilitate the display on a graphical user interface (GUI) of certain features of the storage operation and synchronization to a user. Some embodiments contemplate methods for representing Unicode text in the file system operations in either Normal Form Composed (NFC) or Normal Form Decomposed (NFD). Various disclosed embodiments facilitate operations using either or both formats, or a combination of the two.
